Supreme Court Halts Onerous Texas Abortion Clinic Rules

Surprisingly,  a 6-3 ruling:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has blocked Texas from enforcing key parts of a 2013 law that would close all but eight of the state's abortion facilities. 

The justices largely granted the request of abortion providers Tuesday. With three dissenting votes, the court suspended a ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that allowed Texas to enforce a rule making abortion clinics statewide spend millions of dollars on hospital-level upgrades.

A temporary hold, while the 5th Circuit is considering the rule's constitutionality.  Still, a victory of sorts. (You might guess the 3 dissenters: Scalia, Thomas and Alito.)
